Schools Out

Our schools finished up on Friday for the summer holidays, so today is the first day of a nice long seven and a half weeks of doing lots of lovely things ~ we have nothing planned for the first three weeks and will be pretty much taking each day as it comes! My children are quite happy playing in the garden with their friends, visiting Granny who lives very near to the beach, having lots of yummy picnics and going to play in the park. I am really looking forward to spending lots of days outside hopefully enjoying some nice sunny weather.

Just in case we have some rainy days (well this is Scotland!) we have visited the library to join in with the annual Reading Quest. The idea is that the children have to read six books during the summer holidays and they get little prizes along the way for each book they read. We had a good old browse and stocked up on some lovely things to read.

Doggy Stories ~ for a small boy who loves dogs.

Edinburgh Stories ~ this is a child’s book, which is set in and around the Old Town of Edinburgh and I may be trying to get my hands on it before my daughter does!

My boys used to do the Library reading challenge thingy too. It's a good habit to get in to. They've always been content with a good book. Now they're older we read each others books both at home and when travelling.....it can make for an interesting read!

Hi Jackie, I have that crochet flower book and love it! I'm slowly working through them and trying to decide what to do with all of them. Can't wait to see yours.Seems strange that your kids are on summer vacation and ours are on two weeks of winter.I love how your crochet granny is going.

About Me

Thank you for taking the time to visit. I am married with two gorgeous children and we live in a lovely little seaside town in the South East of Scotland. I work part time in a local library which gives me lots of time with my family. I love to spend the rest of my days crocheting, knitting, baking and reading with maybe just a little bit of aimless pottering around thrown in for good measure :O)x
